In the case of the Belgian goalkeeper, the outlook is more favorable than it seemed to the point that he is expected to play again soon. Although he will not do so on Tuesday in the Champions League, Ancelotti included him in the call to make the team in one of the most important moments of the season.
Courtois, who had initially injured the cruciate ligament in his left knee during the preseason in the United States and then suffered a new injury to his right knee, is expected to play next weekend against Cádiz in a match that could be key for Real Madrid.
And if FC Barcelona does not achieve a victory this Monday against Valencia at the close of matchday 33 of LaLiga, a merengue victory next Saturday could define the Spanish championship in favor of the Madrid team with still four games to be played and before to play the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Santiago Bernabéu.
